youre a lucky guy! this is one of my favorite cameras, i have all the S-K lenses as well. you canget adaoters to use on m4/3 , where the lenses really shine.
it is a very fun cam to use. ive found the light meter to be very accurate, ive never had an exposure problem. the lenses i like in order are the SK 35/2.8, 50/1.9 and 85/4. the remaining lenses are fine, but tend to be very low contrast. rodenstock also made lenses, as did voigtlander. ive used a coup,e of both and found they were not worth the extra money.
good luck and i cant wait to see some pictures! _________________ Epson RD1 + Elmarit 21/2.8; Summarit 50/1.5; Summarit 75/2.5; Elmar-c 90/4; Sankyo Komura 135/2.8, Hektor 135/4.5; Braun Paxina 29 6x6; Photax Boyer Paris; Holga 120 Pano

The "S" earlier version with the same lens was my first SLR, 40 years ago.
Very nice lens indeed ! Quick and easy to use camera. Focusing and DOF calculation are excellent.
You are very lucky, most of these don't work. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |

Geez, that is one good looking camera. What accessories/lenses do you have for it...and if it did break down or fail in some respect...meter etc...could it be fixed.
Nothing like as good as what you've shown there, but I do have a German made Retinette 1a, Compur Rapid 1/500 shutter f3.5, which I bought around 1960....the first 35mm I ever owned!

I don't have any other lens for this camera yet, if meter is gone , easier to use external meter than fix or replace light meter.
I have two light meter what I like very much.
1) Gössen Pilot II, very small very accurate on daylight
2) Sekonic digital lightmeter , perfect in every lights.
Even if she has Kodak brand, this a German camera well designed , beautiful built. If you are interest to take one you can grab one from Ebay.
Perhaps I will also sell mine when 'new toy' feeling is over and I will look for another toy. I will let you know first before I will sell it. _________________ -------------------------------

I wouldn't mind having a look at that site, but I'm afraid that I'm a bit "naughty"......I just "fall in love" with lovely machinery....whatever it is!
I'm in enough "trouble" with my Spotmatics & SMCs....I think I'd better stick with them!
But, I can remember when those Retinas & things like Zeiss-Ikons were sold new. On the ship coming out from England in 1958, the on board shop had heaps, & later on in Toowoomba Qld, when "Camera Shops" were common....I used to "lust" after them too.
But, I saved my "pocket money" to buy the best that I could afford at the time, when I was in school, and I bought my German made Retinette, which I still have!
